release-tagger

Automatically manage Github action releases by ensuring that a major release is always created or updated to point to the last minor/patch release.

Usage

[!IMPORTANT]

• Any single major version release decription would be overwritten by this action (i.e v2). In order to preserve the single major version release description you'll need to create a semantic version. (i.e v2.0.0)

name: Tag release

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - v*

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Create or update major release tag
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run release-tagger
        uses: tj-actions/release-tagger@970a1f5f827a7b90902b0adc904f3bb70c1074e7 # v6.0.6
